0:00
In May 1990, St. John Paul II celebrated Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu on the island of Gozo during his pastoral journey to Malta. In his homily, he called on Catholics to look to the Blessed Mother amid life’s challenges: “May she, who ‘pondered in her heart’, the mystery of God’s love as it was revealed in the life of her Son, guide parents and children to respond fully to the vocation which they have received as sons and daughters of God, redeemed by Christ and born again in the Holy Spirit.”
